There are three essentials to all profit
able discussion, says the Sunday School
7teses. The first is, to have point; the
second is, to see the point; the third is, to
stick to the point. Many discus sions
begin and end without either party being
conscious Of having an objective point.
Some parties to discussion sac a point.
or sec many points, while neither party,
or only one Of the parties, sees the point,
And where any or all Of the parties have
a point, and even where they see the
point, they rarely show themselves
capable of sticking to the point There
would be less Improbable discussion il
everyone would first convince himself
that he had point to discuss We can
not expect another to stick to our point
unless we can make him see that we have
point; and we can not expect to make
him sec that we have point, unless we
can stick to the point ourselves

WRECKED BY IT'S SEWERS.
Part Of Rochester, N. ", Upheaved
BY Naphtha Gas.

b -
A terrible explosion occurred in front of
the Poole Flour Mill, on Mill street, at the
foot Of Factory street. The explosion was
felt for a long distance. Only a few seconds
after the first explosion, another followed,
and smother and another in rapid success
sion. Instantly flames burst from
the Poole Mill, and the rear walls
fell in. The fire burned with great fury, and
although the workmen hastened to get out
some perished in the flames, It was only a
few minutes before the Washington Mill, ad-
joining the burning structure, was also on
fire, and thence the flames communicated to
other buildings One Of the workmen jump
ed from the third story Of the Poole mill ami
is seriously injurei Another escaped by
jumping into the race
The cause Of the explosion was that the
sewers in the vicinity were filled with
naphtha. 1400O gsllons of phth.
were pumped from the vacuum oil works
through the pipe line in the bed Of the old
canal Itwas intended for Che Municipal
Gas Company, but one or more bre ks in the
line allowed the naphtha to escap, into the
adjoining sewers When the sewers became
surcharged with the gas it escaped into the
mills ana exploded there or elsewhere, and
the fire made its way through the mains In
the middle of the streets, throwing out the
manhole covers and tearing up the roadways,

A DEATH DEALING STORM.
Six Persons Killed, Several Injured,
and May Buildings Destroyed

Six Persons Killed, Several Injured,
and May Buildings Destroyed
A destructive cyclone visited Armstrong
Academy, /. T., Fort Washita and Green at
an early hour on Saturday morning, caus-
ing destruction to property and loss to life.
The following are the casu Jties as far as
known:
French Adams, U. s. Army, washita;
killed.
A. B. z. Lincoln, Washita; killed.
Henderson Jack, Green; killed.
Peter Reson, Green; killed.
Two children, names unknown; killed.
William Covington, Armstrong Academy;
both legs broken,
Henry Wait, Washita; arm and leg broken.
Mrs. Wait, Washita; arm broken.
A terrific rumbling sound was heard about
O'Clock It startled the few settlers from
their sleep onl y to awake them to the hor
ror Of impending death A heavy black
cloud, funnel-shaped, was seen in the distance
and rapidly approaching. When about a
mile north of Fort Washita it struck the
ground, and from this point south for miles
the work of ruin was continued.
The cyclone Travelled at about the rate of q
mile minute In an Instant from the time
it struck the earth half the houses in Fort
Washita were In ruins. Light houses and
dwellings were picked up and made into
kindling wood by the fury of the wind. Arm
strong Academy was greatly injured, but
ranchers in the immediate neighborhood suf-
Ifered greatly.
At Green, little hamlet six miles south Of
Armstrong, the damage wasvery heavy, and
many persons were injured Seventeen
houses and general store were carried away
bodily, while horses and cattle within tho ter
ritory covered by the storm king were killed
or manned.
The damage at this time cannot Of course
be estimated, as the full extent OF the storm
lis not known. The two children xii ed at
Green were carried about sixty yards by the
wind and dashed to the ground, mangled 50
as to be almost unrecognizable. Many cattle
and other stock were also killed by lightning.
The storm only lasted about six minutes at
any one point. tf@
